WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:14.240 This is Hacker Public Radio episode 4,182 for Tuesday the 13th of August 2024. 00:14.240 --> 00:22.120 Today's show is entitled, replacing backup batteries in my Kenwood TS940SHF Radio Park 00:22.120 --> 00:23.120 1. 00:23.120 --> 00:25.640 It is part of the series Ham Radio. 00:25.640 --> 00:30.520 It is hosted by Mr. X and is about 26 minutes long. 00:30.520 --> 00:33.320 It carries an explicit flag. 00:33.320 --> 00:39.560 The summary is, this is part 1 recording my experience of replacing backup button batteries 00:39.560 --> 01:06.560 in my HF Ham Radio. 01:06.560 --> 01:09.240 Hello and welcome Hacker Public Radio Dance. 01:09.240 --> 01:12.240 My name is Mr. X and welcome to this podcast. 01:12.240 --> 01:17.240 As usual, I'd like to start by thanking the people at HPR for bringing this service 01:17.240 --> 01:18.240 to us all. 01:18.240 --> 01:23.240 She's learning valuable service on these here into troops. 01:23.240 --> 01:29.240 Hacker Public Radio is a committed podcast provided by the community for the community. 01:29.240 --> 01:34.240 That means you can contribute to, so if you've got something you want to say, 01:34.240 --> 01:42.240 pick up a microphone, your mobile phone, anything with the hand and records something 01:42.240 --> 01:43.240 it's sending a show. 01:43.240 --> 01:45.240 It's literally quite easy. 01:45.240 --> 01:51.240 They've gone a lot there for the time slam down the process and make it nice and easy. 01:51.240 --> 01:55.240 And once you send in one, you make it hooked. 01:55.240 --> 01:58.240 You know, for all it's sending a show they'd be more shows but not to do. 01:58.240 --> 02:02.240 If there are always shots or shows, so I don't think about a goal. 02:02.240 --> 02:09.240 Anyway, this episode was actually, well, the main part of the audio was recorded back in December. 02:09.240 --> 02:18.240 And I was having, I decided to do some work on my... 02:18.240 --> 02:24.240 Yeah, that was my amateur radio set, so I came with TS940s. 02:24.240 --> 02:32.240 And it was the memory that holds up the clock. 02:32.240 --> 02:36.240 I think it was a clock failed. 02:36.240 --> 02:40.240 And it was reporting an incorrect time and whatnot. 02:40.240 --> 02:47.240 And that's kind of an indication that the battered field turns out there was actually two batteries 02:47.240 --> 02:53.240 inside the radio one for a clock and one that holds it in the memories for the... 02:53.240 --> 03:03.240 The frequency memories for the... for the PLL, PLL unit face, a lot of clip unit, which controls the audio. 03:03.240 --> 03:09.240 But the concern was that when I started looking into it, discovered that these were quite... 03:09.240 --> 03:12.240 They could feel like any... but button battery. 03:12.240 --> 03:16.240 It's a kind of watch because it's going to watch the button battery. 03:16.240 --> 03:22.240 They can leak and I had no idea whether these batteries are changed or not or how old they were. 03:22.240 --> 03:27.240 So I see this sort of a Christmas time in 2023. 03:27.240 --> 03:33.240 I thought I'd have a go and delve into the radio and try and replace these things. 03:33.240 --> 03:36.240 So it was even more involved in that. 03:36.240 --> 03:40.240 I mean, I watched a finite YouTube video that gave some advice on that. 03:40.240 --> 03:43.240 So I thought I'd bring you along for the journey. 03:43.240 --> 03:46.240 And I hope you can find it interesting. 03:46.240 --> 03:51.240 It took me a bit longer than expected than had the issues and problems along the way. 03:51.240 --> 03:55.240 But I got there in the end. 03:55.240 --> 04:02.240 So I'll leave it at that and hope you enjoy. 04:02.240 --> 04:08.240 And I'll take you back to December, 2023. 04:08.240 --> 04:17.240 Okay, so I'm going to have a go to replacing a couple of backup batteries that... 04:17.240 --> 04:24.240 Well, at least one is failed on my beloved Kimmed TS940S. 04:24.240 --> 04:28.240 I have my tools arranged. 04:28.240 --> 04:32.240 I've got my soldering out and there's well. 04:32.240 --> 04:37.240 I found a video online which explains how to do it. 04:37.240 --> 04:40.240 Which obviously I'll link to that in the show notes. 04:40.240 --> 04:47.240 So the fussing with do is remove the S or 239 connector. 04:47.240 --> 04:49.240 That's the antenna connector basically. 04:49.240 --> 04:51.240 And it's just a screw thing. 04:51.240 --> 04:54.240 Just unscrew it. 04:54.240 --> 04:56.240 And remove that. 04:56.240 --> 05:00.240 And I'll place that to a safe place. 05:00.240 --> 05:05.240 Remove the mains lead, which just pull out basically. 05:05.240 --> 05:07.240 It's a kettle plug. 05:07.240 --> 05:08.240 That's that out. 05:08.240 --> 05:10.240 And then, remove... 05:10.240 --> 05:13.240 I'll also remove the microphone up. 05:13.240 --> 05:16.240 A hand held can would make a phone. 05:16.240 --> 05:19.240 Just unscrew the ring and... 05:19.240 --> 05:20.240 Hold the case in. 05:20.240 --> 05:21.240 Pull it out. 05:21.240 --> 05:22.240 Yeah. 05:22.240 --> 05:23.240 Move it away. 05:23.240 --> 05:28.240 Now, I'm sure health and safety in average say it's a two-person lift. 05:28.240 --> 05:32.240 Because it's a heck of a heavy radio. 05:32.240 --> 05:34.240 So it's going to be careful. 05:34.240 --> 05:36.240 It's going to do handles that side away. 05:36.240 --> 05:37.240 And I don't actually have any one handle. 05:37.240 --> 05:40.240 Now, I'll just put my finger on the other hand. 05:40.240 --> 05:41.240 And then you can actually... 05:41.240 --> 05:42.240 I'll have to pull it away. 05:42.240 --> 05:43.240 It's a ton... 05:43.240 --> 05:47.240 I'll have to drop the thing because that would be disastrous. 05:47.240 --> 05:48.240 And... 05:48.240 --> 05:50.240 Place it on the bench. 05:50.240 --> 05:52.240 Oh, that was heavy. 05:52.240 --> 05:53.240 Right. 05:53.240 --> 05:55.240 So... 05:55.240 --> 06:02.240 The first thing you need to do is to remove the screws. 06:02.240 --> 06:03.240 So, I'll just... 06:03.240 --> 06:06.240 I'll just do whatever here. 06:06.240 --> 06:08.240 And... 06:08.240 --> 06:09.240 And... 06:09.240 --> 06:13.240 I think it's going to be a pretty niche episode. 06:13.240 --> 06:16.240 Because there are many people going to have a... 06:16.240 --> 06:19.240 ...can root TS-940S... 06:19.240 --> 06:22.240 ...from 1986 era. 06:22.240 --> 06:24.240 And over that, thank the time frame. 06:24.240 --> 06:27.240 So now I'm going to show you a video basically. 06:28.240 --> 06:31.240 I've got a built-in antenna tuning unit on it. 06:31.240 --> 06:34.240 And a hundred watts output. 06:34.240 --> 06:38.240 Although I never had a hundred watts because... 06:38.240 --> 06:42.240 ...it was a kind of early transistorised PA stage... 06:42.240 --> 06:46.240 ...on these videos and a bit delicate. 06:46.240 --> 06:48.240 I'm prone to failure. 06:48.240 --> 06:51.240 So, the previous owner... 06:51.240 --> 06:56.240 ...the previous owner said to me that he generally run it. 06:56.240 --> 06:59.240 Well, it's 65 watts. 06:59.240 --> 07:03.240 I've very, really used these days of a special untransmit. 07:03.240 --> 07:05.240 But I've used it in the past. 07:05.240 --> 07:08.240 And it's still using the same... 07:08.240 --> 07:11.240 ...there's no transistorised PA that haven't failed. 07:11.240 --> 07:15.240 And I think that was a very wise move by the previous owner. 07:15.240 --> 07:19.240 That's a two top panel screws removed. 07:19.240 --> 07:22.240 I'll remove the tube back panel screws. 07:22.240 --> 07:25.240 So that's basically four screws on the top. 07:25.240 --> 07:28.240 To the front to the back. 07:28.240 --> 07:30.240 Yeah, so I think I've got a wise decision. 07:30.240 --> 07:36.240 It's probably the reason why the video is still opening. 07:36.240 --> 07:41.240 There's two screws at the side. 07:41.240 --> 07:44.240 That's the one. 07:44.240 --> 07:46.240 And two... 07:46.240 --> 07:48.240 I know I know how to remember. 07:48.240 --> 07:51.240 This is, I think, you know... 07:52.240 --> 07:56.240 I wasn't really many years ago when it developed a small fault. 07:56.240 --> 07:59.240 And it turned out to be a bad solar joint. 07:59.240 --> 08:03.240 I believe these videos can have suffered from that era. 08:03.240 --> 08:06.240 Although, maybe it also did to be the age as well as I guess. 08:06.240 --> 08:10.240 But when they went through a flow solar machine... 08:10.240 --> 08:14.240 ...it was just dry joints. 08:14.240 --> 08:17.240 So a dry joint, you know, basically. 08:18.240 --> 08:20.240 I don't know that they... 08:20.240 --> 08:22.240 ...much disappointed. 08:22.240 --> 08:26.240 But basically, they end up with our kind of... 08:26.240 --> 08:31.240 ...the solar hut doesn't adhere to the lead of the leg of the component. 08:31.240 --> 08:35.240 And you can pull the leg out and leave a hole in the middle of the solar, 08:35.240 --> 08:37.240 where the component was. 08:37.240 --> 08:41.240 There's not that it contacted the solar, but you can tap it 08:41.240 --> 08:43.240 in terms of the components. 08:43.240 --> 08:46.240 So yeah, it turned out to be a dry joint, as they call it. 08:46.240 --> 08:47.240 So that's what a dry joint is. 08:47.240 --> 08:49.240 I'm sure we'll be looking up and back a pdf link. 08:49.240 --> 08:51.240 And I'm sure not for a member. 08:51.240 --> 08:53.240 So that's the top cover off. 08:53.240 --> 08:56.240 And it's a pretty complicated looking video. 08:56.240 --> 09:01.240 In fact, I'll take a picture of that actually. 09:01.240 --> 09:03.240 Okay, so I had to... 09:03.240 --> 09:06.240 But as the recording, because it seems I can't take a photograph 09:06.240 --> 09:08.240 and record the same thing, that's interesting. 09:08.240 --> 09:13.240 Anyway, so I've taken a picture of the... 09:13.240 --> 09:15.240 ...you...you...you...the radio. 09:15.240 --> 09:17.240 It's a rather dusty. 09:17.240 --> 09:21.240 And...the... 09:21.240 --> 09:26.240 So there's two batteries in the studio. 09:26.240 --> 09:29.240 I've already taken a picture off. 09:29.240 --> 09:32.240 So there's one battery I should say. 09:33.240 --> 09:36.240 It's used to... 09:36.240 --> 09:39.240 ...is that kind of clock. 09:39.240 --> 09:41.240 It's used for timing... 09:41.240 --> 09:44.240 ...clock and alarm. 09:44.240 --> 09:46.240 It also shows... 09:46.240 --> 09:47.240 ...slope filters. 09:47.240 --> 09:48.240 It says B-slope filters. 09:48.240 --> 09:49.240 And what does I do? 09:49.240 --> 09:51.240 There's bits and pieces it shows. 09:51.240 --> 09:53.240 I don't use it very much, it's not that important. 09:53.240 --> 09:57.240 But I was recently listening to a tickman episode. 09:57.240 --> 10:00.240 And he had an old piece of high-fi, 10:00.240 --> 10:02.240 and it was destroyed because of the battery. 10:02.240 --> 10:04.240 It could have been inside it. 10:04.240 --> 10:06.240 And the high-fi was... 10:06.240 --> 10:07.240 ...amaculate. 10:07.240 --> 10:09.240 It would have been used basically, but when it... 10:09.240 --> 10:12.240 ...when he received it, it was destroyed due to this... 10:12.240 --> 10:14.240 ...corrupt battery corrosion. 10:14.240 --> 10:15.240 So... 10:15.240 --> 10:18.240 ...mindful of that could happen here if I... 10:18.240 --> 10:21.240 ...just ignore it, even though I don't actually use the display. 10:21.240 --> 10:23.240 And this and... 10:23.240 --> 10:25.240 ...although there's battery for the timer. 10:25.240 --> 10:28.240 There's also another battery I believe... 10:28.240 --> 10:30.240 ...under the speaker on the left hand side. 10:30.240 --> 10:32.240 So the timer's in the right hand side... 10:32.240 --> 10:35.240 ...and the speaker's in the left hand side on the left hand side. 10:35.240 --> 10:38.240 And then he thought there's a battery in it... 10:38.240 --> 10:40.240 ...which is used to store the... 10:40.240 --> 10:42.240 ...PLL phase lock loop circuitry... 10:42.240 --> 10:45.240 ...poured up basically for tuning in what not. 10:45.240 --> 10:48.240 So you need that battery operational too. 10:48.240 --> 10:51.240 So that could fail in the near future. 10:51.240 --> 10:53.240 Now I'm with the believe... 10:53.240 --> 10:55.240 ...oh no, I need to actually remove... 10:56.240 --> 10:59.240 ...I didn't realize I'm going to have to remove the... 10:59.240 --> 11:02.240 ...button case because I believe there's... 11:02.240 --> 11:06.240 ...three screws on the front panel... 11:06.240 --> 11:08.240 ...that you need to... 11:08.240 --> 11:10.240 ...or maybe too need to loosen. 11:10.240 --> 11:11.240 I thought... 11:11.240 --> 11:13.240 ...I think you may be removing... 11:13.240 --> 11:14.240 ...to loosen the third one... 11:14.240 --> 11:16.240 ...and that allows you to sort of... 11:16.240 --> 11:17.240 ...the front panel down. 11:17.240 --> 11:21.240 So yes, I'm going to have to take the... 11:21.240 --> 11:22.240 ...button cover off. 11:23.240 --> 11:25.240 So I'll probably need to put the... 11:25.240 --> 11:27.240 ...and I'll make a chop somewhere there, so obviously... 11:27.240 --> 11:30.240 ...there's a front cover on the top cover. 11:30.240 --> 11:31.240 Alright, I'll... 11:31.240 --> 11:34.240 ...place that back on again. 11:35.240 --> 11:38.240 Okay, that's that back on. 11:39.240 --> 11:42.240 That's that one, I'm right. 11:42.240 --> 11:44.240 Oh, what did I say? 11:44.240 --> 11:46.240 It's a heavy beast. 11:46.240 --> 11:48.240 Okay. 11:49.240 --> 11:52.240 It's an argument that there was a bit of anything to this. 11:52.240 --> 11:53.240 The chord thing. 11:55.240 --> 11:56.240 There's a sea. 11:56.240 --> 11:58.240 Need somewhere safe to put these screws. 11:58.240 --> 12:00.240 I don't have much room here. 12:00.240 --> 12:03.240 I might just space... 12:03.240 --> 12:05.240 ...right. 12:05.240 --> 12:09.240 I'll just screw this for the top. 12:09.240 --> 12:13.240 Just place them there. 12:13.240 --> 12:15.240 So that's safe. 12:18.240 --> 12:20.240 And no. 12:21.240 --> 12:23.240 So there's two... 12:23.240 --> 12:25.240 ...side screws. 12:25.240 --> 12:28.240 I'll put a bit for the bottom panel. 12:28.240 --> 12:29.240 I'm left on the side. 12:29.240 --> 12:31.240 I'm leaving the first one. 12:31.240 --> 12:34.240 I'm leaving the second one. 12:36.240 --> 12:39.240 And the two on the right hand side. 12:39.240 --> 12:41.240 Okay. 12:41.240 --> 12:43.240 I'll look a bit though. 12:43.240 --> 12:47.240 I'll light tone in here to get better visibility. 12:49.240 --> 12:52.240 I'm going to do on that side. 12:52.240 --> 12:55.240 I'm going to do on that side. 12:55.240 --> 12:57.240 How many other screws would? 12:57.240 --> 12:59.240 Yes, I would say. 12:59.240 --> 13:00.240 Okay. 13:00.240 --> 13:05.240 It looks like there's a four screws on the base. 13:05.240 --> 13:08.240 I'm trying to move in those to the front. 13:08.240 --> 13:10.240 I'm going to back in. 13:10.240 --> 13:13.240 I'm going to tap this on this. 13:13.240 --> 13:17.240 I'll leave it on that side, I think. 13:18.240 --> 13:19.240 One. 13:19.240 --> 13:21.240 Just listen to the front ones. 13:21.240 --> 13:23.240 Two for the rear. 13:23.240 --> 13:25.240 I'll do another bit of hands actually. 13:25.240 --> 13:26.240 Okay. 13:26.240 --> 13:27.240 One. 13:27.240 --> 13:29.240 That's all the way out. 13:29.240 --> 13:31.240 Three. 13:31.240 --> 13:33.240 And... 13:33.240 --> 13:34.240 Oops. 13:34.240 --> 13:35.240 Four. 13:35.240 --> 13:36.240 Okay. 13:36.240 --> 13:37.240 A lot come loose. 13:37.240 --> 13:39.240 I'll come right back on. 13:39.240 --> 13:40.240 Not sure. 13:40.240 --> 13:41.240 What? 13:41.240 --> 13:42.240 Maybe. 13:42.240 --> 13:43.240 Okay. 13:43.240 --> 13:45.240 Make sure you're not going to fall over. 13:45.240 --> 13:46.240 Okay. 13:46.240 --> 13:48.240 I'm going to get off the lines of the dead fall over. 13:48.240 --> 13:49.240 All right. 13:49.240 --> 13:50.240 So... 13:54.240 --> 13:57.240 So those are the side ones. 13:57.240 --> 14:00.240 Okay. 14:00.240 --> 14:05.240 And then back in front. 14:05.240 --> 14:06.240 Okay. 14:06.240 --> 14:08.240 That's fine. 14:12.240 --> 14:13.240 All right. 14:13.240 --> 14:16.240 So we go on to top. 14:16.240 --> 14:20.240 I'm going to try to remove this cover. 14:20.240 --> 14:21.240 Oh yeah. 14:21.240 --> 14:23.240 That comes really quite easily. 14:23.240 --> 14:25.240 I think I'll look at it. 14:25.240 --> 14:27.240 It's not so bad. 14:27.240 --> 14:30.240 I think she's trying to sound confident. 14:30.240 --> 14:32.240 I don't know. 14:32.240 --> 14:34.240 As far as that screw. 14:34.240 --> 14:36.240 There's another screw. 14:36.240 --> 14:39.240 There's a screw in the base. 14:39.240 --> 14:41.240 Is that to come out as well? 14:42.240 --> 14:43.240 Okay. 14:43.240 --> 14:45.240 It doesn't feel like anything goes to the underneath it. 14:45.240 --> 14:49.240 So I'm guessing that screw needs to come out on the base. 14:49.240 --> 14:50.240 One single screw. 14:50.240 --> 14:51.240 Exchange. 14:51.240 --> 14:52.240 Okay. 14:52.240 --> 14:54.240 So I'm going to place that there then. 14:54.240 --> 14:55.240 So... 14:55.240 --> 14:56.240 Yes. 14:56.240 --> 14:57.240 The base. 14:57.240 --> 15:01.240 So the base has two, four, six, eight, nine screws. 15:01.240 --> 15:04.240 And the top has two, four, six, eight screws. 15:04.240 --> 15:06.240 Hmm. 15:06.240 --> 15:07.240 All right. 15:07.240 --> 15:08.240 Now it's coming off. 15:09.240 --> 15:10.240 Yeah. 15:10.240 --> 15:12.240 So it's quite easy to remove the base. 15:12.240 --> 15:13.240 Hmm. 15:13.240 --> 15:14.240 Huh? 15:14.240 --> 15:15.240 Okay. 15:15.240 --> 15:16.240 Oh wow. 15:16.240 --> 15:18.240 That looks complicated. 15:18.240 --> 15:19.240 Yeah. 15:19.240 --> 15:20.240 I'm going to get a picture of that. 15:20.240 --> 15:23.240 I'm going to pose the recording as before. 15:23.240 --> 15:24.240 Wow. 15:24.240 --> 15:25.240 Yeah. 15:25.240 --> 15:28.240 I'll definitely show you a picture of that. 15:28.240 --> 15:29.240 Okay. 15:29.240 --> 15:30.240 No. 15:30.240 --> 15:32.240 I believe. 15:32.240 --> 15:33.240 Oh no. 15:33.240 --> 15:36.240 I need to take the other cover off now. 15:36.240 --> 15:38.240 Well, you know, I see the three screws. 15:38.240 --> 15:41.240 There's two screws beside each other. 15:41.240 --> 15:46.240 And I thought one allows you to swivel the front panel down. 15:46.240 --> 15:51.240 And then then that makes it easy to remove the battery. 15:51.240 --> 15:52.240 For the timer unit. 15:52.240 --> 15:55.240 And that's the one that's actually failed. 15:55.240 --> 15:59.240 But the other batch is probably going to be quite close to feeling as well. 15:59.240 --> 16:00.240 I would imagine. 16:00.240 --> 16:02.240 So we'll see how time goes. 16:03.240 --> 16:05.240 How much I'm going to get done today. 16:05.240 --> 16:06.240 And how much I'm going to do. 16:06.240 --> 16:08.240 And like, all done deal with that. 16:08.240 --> 16:12.240 I need to stop and make it a two-day affair. 16:12.240 --> 16:13.240 Right. 16:13.240 --> 16:14.240 So. 16:14.240 --> 16:17.240 I don't know how to hold this. 16:17.240 --> 16:19.240 Goodness. 16:19.240 --> 16:21.240 Hmm. 16:21.240 --> 16:26.240 I think I need to move this for that. 16:26.240 --> 16:28.240 All for that way. 16:28.240 --> 16:29.240 That's it. 16:29.240 --> 16:33.240 And then I said, man, I know handling this is quite tricky. 16:33.240 --> 16:35.240 Because the way that I think. 16:35.240 --> 16:37.240 Right. 16:37.240 --> 16:38.240 Ah. 16:38.240 --> 16:40.240 You catch my fingers. 16:40.240 --> 16:44.240 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. 16:44.240 --> 16:46.240 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. 16:46.240 --> 16:48.240 Right. 16:48.240 --> 16:50.240 I'm exhausted. 16:50.240 --> 16:56.240 Right now, I'll just pull this over the front of the desk. 16:56.240 --> 17:00.240 And the video makes it look so easy. 17:00.240 --> 17:02.240 Let's say. 17:02.240 --> 17:03.240 All right. 17:03.240 --> 17:04.240 Okay. 17:04.240 --> 17:06.240 I'll take the top cover off. 17:06.240 --> 17:08.240 Right. 17:08.240 --> 17:13.240 Now we're cooking our gas, as they say. 17:13.240 --> 17:15.240 So I need to remove. 17:15.240 --> 17:16.240 I need to loosen. 17:16.240 --> 17:17.240 No. 17:17.240 --> 17:19.240 I need to remove these two screws at the side. 17:19.240 --> 17:21.240 And. 17:22.240 --> 17:23.240 Listen. 17:23.240 --> 17:24.240 What? 17:24.240 --> 17:25.240 And the third screw. 17:25.240 --> 17:27.240 He also did say to remove a. 17:27.240 --> 17:30.240 I connect it from the timer board. 17:30.240 --> 17:31.240 And to see which. 17:31.240 --> 17:33.240 Connected that was. 17:33.240 --> 17:36.240 Yeah. 17:36.240 --> 17:39.240 I don't think I picture the three screws anyway to start with. 17:39.240 --> 17:40.240 Okay. 17:40.240 --> 17:42.240 So I'll rewatch the. 17:42.240 --> 17:44.240 The video. 17:44.240 --> 17:45.240 And there's a. 17:45.240 --> 17:47.240 There's a. 17:47.240 --> 17:49.240 Connecter. 17:50.240 --> 17:52.240 I want a timer board. 17:52.240 --> 17:55.240 And. 17:55.240 --> 17:56.240 It. 17:56.240 --> 17:59.240 It goes to cable form which I'm. 17:59.240 --> 18:01.240 I'm switching my glasses here. 18:01.240 --> 18:02.240 Because. 18:02.240 --> 18:03.240 I. 18:03.240 --> 18:04.240 I. 18:04.240 --> 18:05.240 I. 18:05.240 --> 18:06.240 I. 18:06.240 --> 18:07.240 I. 18:07.240 --> 18:08.240 I. 18:08.240 --> 18:09.240 And. 18:09.240 --> 18:10.240 There's a. 18:10.240 --> 18:11.240 There's a. 18:11.240 --> 18:12.240 There's a. 18:12.240 --> 18:13.240 Plastic. 18:13.240 --> 18:14.240 Um. 18:15.240 --> 18:16.240 Think which. 18:16.240 --> 18:17.240 Uh. 18:17.240 --> 18:18.240 Raps around. 18:18.240 --> 18:19.240 The cabling. 18:19.240 --> 18:21.240 To keep it all together. 18:21.240 --> 18:23.240 And it's just basically secure it. 18:23.240 --> 18:24.240 And. 18:24.240 --> 18:26.240 It's open. 18:26.240 --> 18:27.240 And. 18:27.240 --> 18:28.240 It. 18:28.240 --> 18:29.240 It's. 18:29.240 --> 18:30.240 It's. 18:30.240 --> 18:31.240 It. 18:31.240 --> 18:32.240 It. 18:32.240 --> 18:33.240 It. 18:33.240 --> 18:34.240 It. 18:34.240 --> 18:35.240 It. 18:35.240 --> 18:36.240 It. 18:36.240 --> 18:37.240 But. 18:37.240 --> 18:38.240 It. 18:38.240 --> 18:39.240 It. 18:39.240 --> 18:40.240 It. 18:40.240 --> 18:41.240 It. 18:41.240 --> 18:42.240 It. 18:42.240 --> 18:43.240 Yes. 18:43.240 --> 18:44.240 So. 18:44.240 --> 18:45.240 There. 18:47.240 --> 18:48.240 It. 18:48.240 --> 18:49.240 So. 18:49.240 --> 18:50.240 So. 18:50.240 --> 18:51.240 This. 18:51.240 --> 18:52.240 This. 18:52.240 --> 18:54.240 Uh. 18:54.240 --> 18:55.240 This. 18:55.240 --> 18:57.240 So. 18:57.240 --> 18:58.240 And it's. 18:58.240 --> 18:59.240 Yeah. 18:59.240 --> 19:00.240 And. 19:00.240 --> 19:01.240 She's five. 19:01.240 --> 19:02.240 That's like, 19:02.240 --> 19:03.240 You love it. 19:03.240 --> 19:06.240 And definitely. 19:07.240 --> 19:10.240 Oh. 19:10.240 --> 19:11.240 Okay, that's. 19:11.240 --> 19:16.840 apart from my self-fires. I don't remember I'm missing a screw or losing a screw or anything like that. 19:18.840 --> 19:26.520 But I think it was the other side of the board I would have been touching up all the soldering on the other side of the board, not the top side. 19:27.640 --> 19:33.400 Right, so three screws. So this is fit. 19:34.360 --> 19:38.200 Thanks, so first screws coming out ok? 19:39.240 --> 19:43.240 That's a good fit, this would be ever. And 19:45.880 --> 19:47.080 That's very tight. 19:49.320 --> 19:53.880 I've got a smaller, better fitting tip than this I wonder. 19:54.680 --> 19:58.120 That's a bit better, but it's deeper into the head. 19:59.080 --> 20:03.320 Hmm, I don't want to go through the head of a screw. 20:05.640 --> 20:10.200 Must have been slightly nervous because I would heat it to destroy this radio. 20:11.800 --> 20:14.840 But it should be quite a low risk thing this. 20:16.120 --> 20:20.280 I'll just take now that's screw. That's screw first sight. 20:22.840 --> 20:25.640 That's three screws removed. 20:29.080 --> 20:30.600 Four screws removed. 20:38.280 --> 20:41.320 Ok, I'll put these to the side. 20:43.720 --> 20:44.600 He's over here. 20:48.440 --> 20:54.040 I guess this vintage radio was much easier to work on than modern 20:54.120 --> 20:59.080 videos are all surface mounted things and probably all glued together and you can't get in 20:59.080 --> 21:07.560 them very easily. But not as simple as an old transistor I fully transistorized or valve 21:07.560 --> 21:12.680 3D, of course. Although they're probably more lethal than the body of the voltages you're working on. 21:12.680 --> 21:15.320 There's a lot on plugged in, so we're fine. 21:15.960 --> 21:21.960 Hmm, sure. I can't really see that screw very well, I presume. 21:23.320 --> 21:26.680 This will only affect such a tiny bit. 21:27.240 --> 21:30.120 That's a third screw and one side loosened a tiny bit. 21:31.080 --> 21:37.960 And the third screw on this side loosened a little bit right now. 21:38.920 --> 21:41.640 According to the chapy end of video, 21:42.280 --> 21:48.200 I must thank him very much for his help because I would have no doubt broken something 21:48.200 --> 21:53.640 had enough. I might still do a supposed one. Oh yes, that's tipping. 21:55.320 --> 22:00.440 It actually looks like there's plenty room on my radio for me to 22:01.320 --> 22:11.000 to tip this down. I think without unclipping anything, I'm clipping that plug and I wonder if that's 22:11.640 --> 22:20.920 precisely why that clip was removed previously because whoever repaired the battery 22:20.920 --> 22:25.160 replaced the battery last time. I'm guessing that's what happened. 22:26.360 --> 22:30.040 Remove that clip. I would make the perfect thing. I may not go all the way down. 22:30.040 --> 22:34.440 So I mixed off the clip. I'm going to go a photograph of a so you can 22:34.520 --> 22:42.520 all appreciate what I'm talking about. In the photograph, the left hand side is the 22:42.520 --> 22:52.200 connector that was advised to remove and to the right, you can actually see the button battery 22:52.200 --> 22:56.360 which needs to unsolder, which has got an orange room round round round about it. 22:57.320 --> 23:04.760 But on that connector you can see if you follow the cable harness from that, it hits towards 23:04.760 --> 23:14.600 that. I can have round board and there's a black plastic thing, one of a bit of a 23:14.600 --> 23:21.400 weird cable type type thing. It's something above it and it's completely rigid. There's no 23:22.120 --> 23:28.280 flexibility at all, but I imagine at one point it used to be a metal. I'm not sure I'm 23:28.280 --> 23:33.720 scared to get a break it so I'll just leave it be actually. I don't know whether it's 23:33.720 --> 23:39.880 supposed to be solid like that or not, I don't know. Maybe it is. So remember I'm doing a 23:39.880 --> 23:48.600 edge here all the wires, creaking and groaning as I and connect to a person. Oh yeah, that's not 23:48.600 --> 23:53.800 that isn't going to reach as quiet right. That's going to be too tight. So I will have to 23:53.800 --> 24:03.880 remove that connector after all. So how do I do that? Oh my god, yeah, this is where I snap 24:03.880 --> 24:09.560 something and it all goes a little bit long. Can I uncluffle it from the other side? No, 24:09.560 --> 24:13.960 no that's not really good because it's going to other wires as a little can I? Could I uncluffle 24:13.960 --> 24:22.520 from that side? I wonder would that release everything? Might do. So you're just 24:22.520 --> 24:31.880 unclipping it from the socket board, but I have a bit worried that I'm going to break 24:32.520 --> 24:38.440 something. So I slide it a little back up again and kind of remove it from the 24:38.440 --> 24:45.400 board. Yeah, see here we go. I've removed it from the board, the brown board at the top, 24:46.280 --> 24:54.920 pulled the radio back over the edge and yeah, so that's going to work. I think that might be a 24:54.920 --> 25:04.280 little safer. Oh, there's some things. All right, so there's another, 25:04.760 --> 25:12.440 there's another cable which is a bit of a bit of a mindful of things being tight as you 25:12.440 --> 25:17.560 bend things down in the front panel. There's a kind of blue and white connector which goes 25:17.560 --> 25:24.680 to the transformer, but I'll look at it and that's getting a tad tight. I don't know if I can move 25:24.680 --> 25:32.520 it further to be fair, I'm a bit nervous about this. Is there any tension in it? I don't think we're 25:32.600 --> 25:41.480 okay. I think that's okay. Phew. So I think now I could unsolder this 25:44.040 --> 25:50.120 can I move that over a bit touch? Yes, I think what I need to know is get my 25:51.320 --> 25:56.200 I think I'll be taking another photograph this, it looks a bit too, a bit too, a bit 25:56.200 --> 26:07.800 skinny now. I'll get my soulders now and set up and then hopefully disolder the problematic battery. 26:08.520 --> 26:15.080 Okay, I think that's a good place to stop where I have a radio with a front fascia 26:15.080 --> 26:21.240 rotated down ready to replace the backup battery for the clock. If you want to find out 26:21.240 --> 26:29.080 if eventual repair is successful you need to carry on listening to my further episodes. 26:29.080 --> 26:35.320 If you've got any comments on this episode or with the similar line you can you can contact me 26:35.320 --> 26:49.480 at MasterX at hpr googlemail.com.
